Hi,
Is there any documentation how the current javafxports mirror repository
got created?
Some of our customer projects are going to be stuck on JavaFX-8 for the
forseeable future and while we won't sign up for providing general
support for JavaFX-8 it would be good to have a central place one can
fork JavaFX-8 from.
Having a central place would allow (at least in theory) that
modifications and patches from different people can be merged without to
much manual work.
